What Are You Playing This Weekend?

Guys, you'll be pleased/insanely jealous to hear that I finally managed to crack 175k in Tiny Birds - getting up to 191k. Now that the evil curse Tiny Birds cast on my bitter heart has been shattered, I can move on to more serious pursuits - like giving Homefront a bash, and finally finishing Dead Space 2…

But what are you guys playing this weekend?

Sunday afternoon is a bit out for me - I've started to become a pretty big fan of UFC, believe it or not, and it's Shogun vs Bones for the Light Heavyweight title on Sunday. I'm a huge Shogun fan, so I'm hoping he manages to ride things out against Jon 'Bones' Jones - who is an absolute beast.

Games wise - I'm thinking about playing through Homefront's single player. I've heard bad reports, but I'm keen to see if they really deliver with the game's universe. Dead Space 2 I just need to finish. I've been slacking majorly on that one.

In a word, no.
Very laggy last night on XBOX
Unable to join games as a party
Dated graphics
seriously lacking polish
nothing new in terms of gameplay, the battlepoints are a great idea, just poorly implemented
Save yourself $80's and go and wash the car, it'll be more fun.

I am finding the multiplayer much better than anything out there. It is a radical change from the existing range of shooters. It has the room for customising stuff but skill is more important without the straight twitch gunplay. There is no lag on the PC version. The performance is absolutely fantastic given servers of more than 30 players.
The graphics is exactly what it needs to be for this type of online service.

The single player tutorial shouldn't be why you play this game. Its all for the multiplayer.

Shogun hasn't been the same since pride due to all the injuries but he's been in some serious wars and his experience will be too much for bones. However bones will be the lhw champ or the hw champ in the future... Gonna b an awesome weekend mma n bulletstorm

I'm sure it will come as a great shock to all that I'll be playing Demon's Souls. Silly Buttercup, I don't love you, I just pull your strings so that you do interesting things for me to write about. Also, uninteresting things.

Then there's Pokemon White. It didn't take long for me to get back into grinding, I think I'm at 2.5hrs of gameplay and I'm underleveled for the second gym.

I probably won't be playing more Trauma Center, I haven't finished it but this weekend shall be devoted to relaxing and I did mention that the game can be pretty exhausting.

Oh man, I still need to get to island 4 without a perfect slide. I'm stuck on 116000. Gorram it. I've started to slowly play Mirror's Edge and some TF2, but the majority of the weekend will just be finishing 2 assignments.

That perfect slide one is a doozy. I've lost count of the times I got to literally the last jump on island 3 and got one by accident. Still, it turns out it is possible. I found the trick is bring the bird down a little too early, so that it bounces slightly before down for the slide. No perfect slides but you keep enough speed that you can actually make it to the fourth island before sunset.

Huge weekend for me; just got my Grand Master edition of Shogun 2, my Codex Edition of AC:Brotherhood. Gotta get around to finishing Dead Space 1 so I can get started on the sequel and fit in some time to play more Rift. Oh and I just purchased Homefront and Test Drive Unlimited 2.

I'm currently going through the Dragon Age Origins DLC to get the items before eventually starting a new super evil game. Just killing time really until Crysis next week so I'm not planning to start any new games between now and then.

I can't believe you got 191K on Tiny Wings! My wife is trying for the 175K achievement, she probably played for 2 hours last night, swearing all the way! My highest score is about 110K, but I have too many other games to play to spend too much time on it! I really like Mad Skills MX on iphone, will probably be playing it a bit this weekend.

I also picked up Motorstorm Apocalypse yesterday, played a few tracks last night, pretty fun so far, so I'll be putting a few more hours into that one!

Story time! I went to an all-girls’ school. My friends and I had that special bond of closeness that apparently comes with synced-up periods and measuring the length of each other’s winter leg hair.
This, obviously, led to a brief era of trying to catch one of the others unawares with the most impressive, most unexpected spank possible. We’re talking sneaking up behind each other in the hallway and laying one down that made the earth shake. If I couldn’t read your palm from the imprint, you weren’t doing a good enough job.
